On May 27, 2003, the first public version of the open-source project known as WordPress became available for download. What started as a fork of the blogging platform b2 has evolved into one of the largest publishing platforms on the web.

Yesterday Rhonda and I had the privilege of attending George Hutchison’s retirementceremony at Andrews AFB.

Master Chief Petty Officer George Hutchison is a great person. We met and worked together when I was stationed at Naval Air Facility, Washington, DC. We have since stayed in touch and I have admired his ascent into the highest ranks of enlisted leadership and management in the Navy.
